The Department of Ėthë Bodwéwadmimwat created two animation videos with the help of Four Directions Productions and the funding provided by Cultural Resource Fund | The MICA GROUP.
The animations are an extensions of a previous Potawatomi Children’s Storybook series created by The Department of Ėthë Bodwéwadmimwat.
We encourage and support the use of these animations to bring Bodwéwadmimwen learning materials into the homes and schoolrooms of our Potawatomi citizens of all learning ages.
